Requirements for Private User Offers of Cloud Computing Services
Torsten J. Gerpott, Sebastian May · 2014
With a growing number of personal computing devices operated by the average private individual or employee, an increasingly popular means to have personal files and frequently deployed software applications at hand, without the hassle of having to transfer them between or install them on various devices, are cloud computing (CC) services. To date, research on CC services has primarily focused on business customers. This paper provides an overview of differentiators relevant for private users of CC services. The proposed framework is introduced to guide the design of private user CC offers and to highlight potential directions for future research.
